those citizens of Greenville who had to
pay its taxes, he offered an amendment
providing that before the election could
be ordered one-half Of the owners of real
estate in Greenville city must petition for
it.
Senator Austin characterized the argu-

Vile city from the operation of the law.

Senators Kennedy and McMaster, Pro

Mcbride had big tract of this almost worth

Bells Across the Snow.

O Christmas, merry Christmas!
Is 1t really come again,
With It's memories and greetings.
With it's toys and with its pain?
There's a minor in the carol,
And q shadow In the light,
And a spray of cypress tWining
With the holly-wrcath to.nlsht;
And the hush Is never broken
BY laughter light and low,
As we listen in the starlight
To the "bells across the snow.
@ Christmas, merry Christmas!
"ris not so very long
Since other voices blended
With the carol and the song.
II we could but hear them singing
AS they are singing now;
If we could but see the radiance
OF the crown on each dear brow
There would be no sigh to smother,
No hidden tear TO floW,
As I'VE listen in the starlight
To the bells across the snow"
OChrlstmas, merry Christmas!
This nevermore can be;
We cannot bring again the days
OF our unshadowed glee.,
But Christmas, happy CHRISTMAS,
sweet herald Of goodwill,
With holy songs OF glory
Brings holy gladness still;
For peace and hope may brlghteh'
And patient love may glow,
AS we listen In the starlight
TO the "bells across the snow.

Christmas.

Before another issue of the Press and Bdn'
erismadc, the anniversary ofthe birth ofoul
Savior will be celebrated.
We do not intend to try to preach sermon
or TO assume the duties Of preacher, but as an
humble layman, we trust it may not be out Of
place to urge upon our people respectful and
proper observance Of the occasion.
1t Is meet and proper that we be happy and
joyous at that time.
1t is well that we forget all animosities when
celebrating the birth Of the Prince Of Peace
Let fellowship and good nature rule su'
prcmc. and let thank kfulnoss to Almighty
God fill our hearts.
Let us not desecrate the sacred annivcr'
sary BY drunkenness orgluttony.
Let no man take the time as an OCCASION
for indulgence in o debauch that is sinful at
any time, but which Is shocking to our sense
of propriety on this anniversary OF such I'M
portance to christians.
Let scof1crs and unbelievers profane the day,
but let no self-rcspecting man in this Chris
tian land offend by violating the dcccncies
and proprieties of proper celebration of the
anniversary of Him who died that we might
live.

Nothing to Do.

"Nothing to do," in this world OF ours,
Where the weeds grow up with the lalres
flowers,
Where smiles have only titful play.
Where hearts are breaking every day!
"Nothing to do" thou Christian soul.
Wrapping thee round in thy self1sh stole:
or with the garments of sloth and SIM;
Christ, thy Lord; hath kingdom TO Wln.
"Nothing to do" There are prayers to lay
On the altar 6f incense, day by day;
There are foes to meet within ana witnout,
There is error TO conquer, strong ana STOUT.
"Nothing to do! There are minds to teach
The simplest form OF Christian speech;
There are hearts to lure with loving VIE,
From the grimest haunts OF sins denle.
"Nothing to dor There are lamss TO leed'
The precious hopes of the church s need;
Strength to he borne to the weak ana lalnl'
Eigils TO keep with the doubling saint.
Nothing to dor and thy Saviour said,

MACON. GA, Dec. l5-The Voolfolk trial
was concluded To-day. The Judge charged
the the jury al length. concluding at 1885, az
which time the jury retired. 1t remained
out only fifteen minutes. bringing In YER
dict of murder, unaccompanied by any recon-
endaLion. It had no visible effect on Wool
folk, who paled slightly, but did not move
muscle. After the lapse of short time
Judge Gustin pronounced sentence on the
prisoner, naming Friday, February the 10Th,
as the day for the execution. The verdict
has given general satisfaction.
In his statement before sentence Woolfolk
asserted his innocence before heaven, and
said The witnesses had sworn falsely. he
seems to be absolutely without nerve. A
motion for new trial will be made at once by
his counsel.

I now remember, began early in Arthur
administration. Jones was disappointed
in his application for some Federal ONCE.
He applied to King for endorsement. and
King frankly told him he could not give it.
Jones was desperate. and accused King oil
ngratitude. etc. All these facts have been
publicly ventilated in Washington City two
or three years ago. Jones challenged"
King at that time, and KING published q
card, stating that Jones raj not ft for a
gentleman to notice, and that he never
would do 20.
The recent barber shop bullying is sufd-
Gent evidence of the character OF the two
men, and the TACT that Floyd King had al.
ready stated publicly that he would not
quarrel with Jones, and had satisfied his
associates in Congress Of the falsity OF
Jones charges that he had spoken or writ
ten evil of the females Of Jones family,
would seem to be q sufficient answer to the
animus of the Associated Press dispatch.

Frank Hiscock who was recently elected
United States Senator from New York to
succeed Warner Miller, has had a long ex.
perience in the House. He has been chair.
man OF the Committee on Appropriations
and has served on the Ways and Means and
other important committees. He knows
the affairs OF the Government and may oe
relied upon by his party as a capable de-
lender o. it's principles and practices. The
Democrats have nothing to expect from
him except what may be looked for from a
v~igilant and strenuous, but generous foe.
While Mr.. Hiscock represented the Onon-
daga District, he was never quite big
enough to look over the roofs OF the salt
sheds OF Syracuse, but now that he is raised
to the Senate his vision will have a wider
scope.

The MINER stands ready to support any
legitimate measure looking to the suppress.
sion Of evil in any form in which it may
present itself. It would cheerfully lend its
aid and whatever influence it may possess
to q bill providing for the prohibition OF
the sale Of intoxicants in houses OF prosti-
tuition, in theaters, variety and otherwise,
in gambling houses. in concert halls and in
all other places where men and women con.
gregate. But it cannot consistently cham.
pion a Measure which seeks to prohibits its
sale IN any one OF the places named and
excerpts the others. 1t believes such lssis-
lation would be special or class legislation
and in direct violation Of the restrictive
act passed at the last session OF the
present Congress. And furthermore it
would build up certain places at tho ex.
pense Of Others, equally as harmful. Let
the people have q Law sweepingin it's scope,
not one which takes money out Of the
drawer OF one saloon and puts it in that
OF another.

LIQUOR PROHIBITION.

The New York Morning Journal, in dis
cussing this matter, refers to another i'm
portant place-Atlanta-which has found
that q prohibitory liquor law does not pre-
vent the sale OF liquor, and adds: From
old times it has been known that laws OF
extreme severity are just equal to no laws
at all, because they cannot be enforced. II,
for instance, hanging is the penalty for
stealing anything wen down to sixpence,
juries in civilized countries eventually re-
fuse to find q man guilty Of stealing. They
hold a human life to be more precious than
sixpenes. Therefore, stealing cannot be
punished unless the laws make the penalty
lighter. Owing to this discovery stealing il
not now rated As u CAPITAL crime in any
civilized country. But the Prohibition
men are not wise enough to see the point OF
lessons like this, and through insisting upon
their extreme ideas they are the worst foes
of temperance. If the law regulates the
sale OF liquor it can keep control of that
sale; il the law prstends to stop the sale
the authorities find that men will
have liquor, and that the universal revolt
against a bad law makes it's enforcement
imDossible.

While Short OF Coal, the Anaconda
Shelter is Still Running.

THE twenty-six furnaces Of the Ana,

want Of coal, owing to the snow block.
ade."
The above is from the Inter- Mountain oI
last evening. That paper has been wrongly
informed. The company has only banked
seven furnaces, and still continues to run
nineteen. The banking OF the seven fur.
naces was occasioned by a shortage in the
supply Of fuel. The fact OF the supply being
short was stated in THE MINER yesterday,
but hopes were entertained by the railroad
people that they would get q coal train
through in time to avoid tho necessity OF
the smeltsr company shutting down any
part OF the works. Eight cars of coal will
arrive at Anaconda this morning, and fifty
car loads are on the road north OF Poca-
tello. The Superintendent of the Montana
Union has made all preparations to for
ward it promptly on it's arrival at Silver
Bow. The Utah & Northern people arc
giving coal trains the preference over all
freight on their line, and there is little dam
ger, if good weather continues, OF a suspen-
sion Of work at Anaconda.
General Manager DAILY states that only
sixty men have been laid OF at the smelter,
and non at the mine on account of this
lack of fuel. The men at the smelter will
be again at work by Saturday. There is
on hand at the works some fifteen or
twenty car loads Of coal, and the shortage
not have taken place but for the
fact that the smelter company had to loan
the railroad company coal to operate the
section OF road north of the blockade.
